BRIGHTON, England, May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

~ International software supplier Planon sees total revenues rise by 20% in 2015~

The past year has again been a highly successful one for Planon - international supplier of innovative Integrated Workplace Management software solutions. In 2015 the company was able to continue its strong growth of the past 25 years, growing its total revenues by 20%.

Its strongest results were in Central Europe, Great Britain and the United States. In 2015 Planon further strengthened its presence on the East Coast of the United States (Boston), and also opened a new office on the West Coast (Seattle). Planon acquired many new global brands across different markets. For instance, a number of leading museums were added to the client base - such as the Dutch Rijksmuseum and the Mauritshuis - as well as Molina Healthcare, Bourne Leisure, Basic-Fit, Ikano and Max Bögl.

Independent research agency Gartner is also confident about Planon's future, and lists Planon in its 2016 Market Guide for Integrated Workplace Management Systems. In its latest IWMS Magic Quadrant, Gartner moved up Planon as a 'Leader' and one of the Top 3 Players in the worldwide IWMS market. 'Our positioning in the IWMS Market Guide confirms that Planon's product and innovation strategy is in line with the changing needs of the market for workplace optimisation,' notes Pierre Guelen, Founder and CEO of the Planon Group. 'Gartner suggests that Planon's attention devoted to innovations such as The Internet of Things, Building Information Modelling and the use of social networks to improve customer experience and customer support, is consistent with the way it sees IWMS solutions developing.'

In 2015 Planon acquired twelve million euros in growth financing, provided by the European Investment Bank. This growth investment puts Planon in an excellent position for the next step towards worldwide market leadership. 'At Planon we believe that our strong focus on autonomous growth has a significant added value for our current and future clients,' says Fred Guelen, CFO of the Planon Group. 'It puts us in a position where we can actually launch integrated solutions and let our clients make the most from our innovative strengths instantly.'
